Turn your lecture notes into AI quiz questions in minutes
DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides, DOCX files, text notes or photos of pages, then writes quiz questions with explanations so you can practice on your own material.
How an AI quiz tool fits into studying
An AI quiz tool reads your PDF, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation. Instructors and students who already have reading material often want practice questions without writing every one by hand.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from one upload
- Explanations for every answer so review is useful
- Browser study on the free plan with no credit card needed to start
- Export to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on paid plans
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Built from your material
Questions come from the pages you upload, so a unit on plate tectonics produces questions about the content you actually covered.
Export when you need it
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro for your learning platform.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false, open questions or a mix.
Study or export
Answer in the browser, or export the quiz if your plan includes it.
Because the questions come from your own files, they follow the terms, examples and sections you were assigned. Checking an explanation after each answer shows why the right choice is right, which helps more than a score alone.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month with browser study and no exports. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Test one idea per question, such as the type of plate boundary and the landforms it creates. Make wrong answers plausible, for example by mixing up divergent and convergent boundaries.
What should a plate tectonics quiz cover?
Include boundary types, the evidence for continental drift, and the features each boundary produces, such as mid-ocean ridges, trenches and fault lines.

Yes. PDF and DOCX export start on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month.
